Chapter 972

Rafael is an attacking guard, on the defensive experience and ability is certainly not as good as O'Shea.

But in the face of Wright. With a winger like Phillips, Rafael can keep up with him in speed, flexibility and agility. It's impossible for Wright Phillips to make a breakthrough as easily as O'Shea.

In the 62nd minute of the game, Wright Phillips continuously changed gears and direction, trying to pass Rafael, but Rafael was not deceived by Wright Phillips. He saw the right time, suddenly grabbed the ball, hit it with his shoulder, destroyed Wright Phillips' balance, and got stuck in front of Wright Phillips to steal the ball.

It was a beautiful steal, and Wright Phillips, fearing a counterattack, swept Rafael from behind.

Manchester United are two goals ahead at the moment. Rafael wants to send a free kick quickly, but he is stopped by Ferdinand della, who is a veteran. He signals to press the pace and wait for his teammates to come back.

Rafael suddenly realized, embarrassed to step aside, the free kick to Ferdinand to the penalty.

Ferdinand passes the ball to Scholes. Scholes understands it and passes it to Gao Xiaodong, trying to control the ball and rhythm in the back court.

Manchester City are two goals behind and they want to play faster and control the pace by themselves rather than by Manchester United.

Seeing Manchester United holding the ball in the back court, Manchester City's players pressed three lines quickly and forced Manchester United to pass the ball.

Manchester United is not a ball control team, and the defenders' footwork is not so delicate. Under the pressure of Manchester City, they soon lost control and could only make a big move to the front court.

At the moment, Manchester City's defender is pressing forward, Manchester United's striker can't control the landing point, and the ball right is back at the foot of Manchester City again.

As Wright Phillips had no advantage on this side of the attack, the ball passed to David again. At the foot of Silva, attack from the right.

In the 65th minute of the game, Silva took the ball to the bottom line and made an action to pass back in a very small space, but suddenly a fried ball broke through the bottom line.

Silva's speed is not so fast, but his technology and imagination can be said to be one of the best players on the spot. Evra always can't keep up with the rhythm in the face of Silva's unexpected passing and passing, and now his body is not at the peak, so he can't use his body to make up for the difference between the players.

Evra took a slow beat and was left behind by Silva. When Evra turned around to chase, Silva had already entered the restricted area and Evra did not dare to foul again.

Goalkeeper Edwin van der Sar moved quickly to the near corner, centre back Rio Ferdinand came to block Silva's way forward, and the rest of Manchester United's players also quickly contracted into the penalty area to prevent Manchester City's players from grabbing points.

Manchester United's defensive action is quick and skilful, which hardly gives Silva and his teammates the chance to cooperate in the penalty area.

But Silva was not flustered when there was a chase in the back and a block in the front. He shot a shot in vain and passed the ball to the front of the penalty area.

Ferdinand and Evra failed to block Silva's pass and the ball reached yayature in the middle.

Manchester United fans in the stands couldn't help shouting.

Because the goalkeeper van der Sar has blocked to the near corner, Yaya Toure face to face most of the empty goal, if Yaya Toure calmly shot, the consequences are unimaginable.

At the moment, Manchester United's centre back and back all shrink into the restricted area. Seeing Silva pass the ball to yayature, Gao Xiaodong and Carrick rush out quickly to block yayature's shooting line. Vidic retreats to the goal line for the first time to prevent yayature from shooting.

Manchester United's defensive system is very mature and tacit. In a passive situation, the defenders have done almost everything they can.

But Yaya Toure didn't shoot. He saw Gao Xiaodong and Carrick jump on the ball and smash it into the penalty area.

Yaya Toure is already in an excellent shooting position. Gao Xiaodong and Carrick didn't expect Yaya Toure to smash into the penalty area without shooting.

Gao Xiaodong and Carrick were both knocked down in the penalty area and could only watch Yaya Toure pass slowly from his side.

In the face of rushing to block centre back Vidic, yayature cunningly slammed the ball again and swung past Vidic.

When yayature passed Vidic, Scholes had chased into the penalty area from behind. When he saw yayature trying to shoot, Scholes shoved from the back.

Scholes's foot tackle was running for the ball, but he was old, and his movement speed and flexibility were not enough. This foot didn't touch the ball and shoved directly to yayature's ankle.

Yaya Toure did not expect that there was someone behind him. He was shoveled and fell on the turf.

Although Gao Xiaodong, Carrick, Vidic and others saw Scholes foul, they could not accept the result. They all got up and complained to the referee, saying that Scholes shoved the ball.

Manchester City players also know that this is a decision that may change their fate. They all rush to put pressure on the referee. Some people want to push Scholes in the past. Manchester United players come to protect Scholes and push them together with Manchester City players.

The referee Quinn also saw it. At the same time, he also saw the linesman raise the flag. Quinn ignored the complaints of Manchester United players and took out a red card to Scholes without hesitation. At the same time, he gave Barry and Carrick a yellow card.Red card + penalty. When Yaya Toure fell to the ground, Manchester United players and fans expected the result. However, seeing that the referee Quinn really gave a penalty for the red point set meal, Manchester United fans still couldn't accept it. They all yelled at the stadium: "dive, dive!"

Ferguson shakes his head and sighs. He can't blame Scholes for this goal. If Scholes doesn't foul, the goal will undoubtedly be scored. If we want to blame, we can only blame Evra for not preventing Silva and causing a series of passivity.

Scholes although made a red card action, but soon recovered calm, he pushed his teammates in the past, "don't argue, eat yellow card is not worth it, we still lead two goals, lose or win, it depends on you."

With that, Scholes went to Gao Xiaodong, "kill them! I believe you can do it. " Scholes grabbed Gao Xiaodong's shoulder and shook it. He turned and walked out of the court.

Gao Xiaodong looked at Scholes's back, clenched his fist, "don't worry, Paul, we will win."

After Scholes left, yayature, city's core midfield player, went to the penalty spot and was ready to take the penalty.

The game is less than 70 minutes, Manchester United is only two goals ahead, but Scholes was sent off.

now the hope of Manchester United's players and fans is placed on Edwin van der Sar. If Edwin van der Sar saves the penalty, Manchester United will have a great chance to hold on. If Yaya Toure scores the penalty, Manchester United's situation will be very dangerous.

In the face of Edwin van der Sar, Yaya Toure pushed the lower right corner of the goal decisively. Van der Sar judged Yaya Toure's free throw direction, but Yaya Toure's shooting angle was very tricky. Van der Sar didn't touch the ball, and the ball flew into the net close to the post.

1: 2

City pulled back a point from a penalty.
